Georgia didn’t play Saturday, but the Bulldogs’ playoff hopes improved anyway.
Playing tough non-conference games can pay off when it comes to picking the four-team College Football Playoff field, and it’s becoming more and more obvious each week that the Bulldogs’ September 9 win at Notre Dame is a big deal. The Irish manhandled USC 42-14 Saturday to move to 6-1.
There are eight unbeaten teams remaining in the FBS ranks: UCF and USF from the AAC, Miami from the ACC, Penn State and Wisconsin from the Big Ten, TCU from the Big 12 and Alabama and Georgia from the SEC.
